2.3 vs 2.1. Would it be worth to go back ?? !!

Hello, just yesterday I updated my mobile to the now available version 2.3 and I'm already thinking how I could go back to the 2.1

The graphics are now fancier and more ornamental, but the actual phone I think is slightly slower.

Could any knowledgeable person explain to me if there are any issues with  the upgrade ?

I now have Flash player, but I admit the quality of the image is rather mediocre.

Does the upgrade have an effect at the quality of the camera ?

I tried to shoot a  very short video, and I get the idea that there is something wrong.

What I'm certain is wrong,  is that I cannot any more switch off the vibration when I type something on the keyboard ( excellent idea to drain the battery an then force the user to buy a new one), and also, I'm not really the apps person, I had only three, and now, one of them ( a radio station from Bavaria ) is plagued by streaming problems. I unistalled and reinstalled the app, with no result.

Up until a few hours before the upgrade it was working like a clockwork.

It seems to me that for the sake of Flash, ( and not at its best ) other features ( and possibly speed ) are sacrificed.

Can someone tell me if ( and in case of a yes, how ) to go back to 2.1 ?

Android 1.5 and above

works just fine

There is no Mediascape after the update, the one you are referring to is Timescape and it is still present but remember you can add or remove icons or widgets from the homescreen

You can see more pictures on this Thread, and you can install the latest Homescreen/Launcher on your phone running 2.1

I'm sorry this site is unbelievably slow and doesn't allow me to upload pics of my screen.

Your screen is beautiful and sophisticated.

Mine is not exactly like that.

The app is exactly what you found but it no longer works on the phone.

I cannot insert anything on this site as it doesn't allow me.

The speed even when typing is more than painfully slow.

Ok I tried a lot and understood how it works ( the screens ) the phone's "desktop" is a lot neater now.

The app though,  doesn't work at all ....

I wonder why this website is slow for you, I don't have any issues with it, are you sure is not your internet connection? you should download Google Chrome on your computer

I really don't know. All other websites work normally.

I suppose I'll have to close the thead, there is plenty of info for the phone, and if the app is faulty only for me, I 'll have to contact the developer....

Thanks again for everything.

how about uninstall and reinstall it

Not applicable

I've done already uninstall and reinstall twice.

The same morning before the upgrade it was working fine on wifi.

After the upgrade, same wifi, the app is dead !

I installed Dolphin mini, and it's running great.

I managed to clean up the desktop and it looks much better now !
